Stanley may offer Bryan Hughes a more permanent deal as he has impressed in his short time at the club.

The midfielder is currently playing on a non-contract basis with the Reds after returning from Iceland and training with Stanley, getting international clearance and starting the last four games.

But there have been reports that a couple of teams, including League Two rivals Rotherham, have been keeping tabs on the former Birmingham and Hull star.

"Bryan has done well for us," said boss John Coleman. "I haven’t heard other clubs are interested but it’s for me and Bryan to discuss."

Coleman is keen to keep his team together and build on Stanley’s four game unbeaten league run when they travel to AFC Wimbledon tomorrow.

The 17th placed Reds haven’t won on their travels since February and are desperate to get rid of that unwanted statistic.

"We need to kick on now as we need to try and take something out of every game," said the Reds chief, with his side without a game last weekend after being knocked out of the FA¿Cup.

"We have been doing double sessions and we had a behind-closed- doors friendly with Fleetwood this week which we won 4-2.

"I have been impressed with everyone as we have worked hard and there is a renewed sense of confidence around the club. We are playing better in training, we are beginning to understand each other more and that bodes well.

"We were in a similar situation last season at this stage when we were closer to the bottom than the top and we have got to start looking up now.

"No one frightens me in this league but what we have been lacking is goals and we need to start getting them all over the park now.

"Podge (Padraig Amond) got two in our last game and hopefully he will kick on now. He is a confident lad but it’s not just down to him."

AFC Wimbledon were formed in 2002 and took non-league by storm.

"They have done it by playing the right way, a passing game," said Coleman who knows their boss Terry Brown from his Aldershot days.

"I watched them at Bradford last weekend in the FA¿Cup and I know they are a decent side even though they probably weren’t at their best then.

"They have skilful players and it will be tough for us but we are going there in good form."

Coleman has almost a full squad to choose from with only Ian Craney (broken leg) and Alan Burton (hernia) missing.

Peter Murphy is back from a three-match ban which, unfortunately for him due to the lack of games, has lasted five weeks.

"It’s a shame for him as he has been out for five weeks and has been itching to get back," said Coleman of his three-goal defender. "But he has trained well as always and so his fitness is never in doubt."

Coleman’s big dilemma this season has been fielding just five loan players in his match-day squads.

"That has been a problem," said the Reds chief. "It means some haven’t had a chance and that’s something I will have to address when their loan spells are up as there is no point having them here if they aren’t playing."

STANLEY’S game at Burton Albion has been moved from Saturday 7 January to Friday 6 January. The match will kick off at 7:45pm.
